Impressions of Belgrade and Serbia (and some occasional vacation photos!) by a long-term ex-pat.

So many hands on me!

Are you confused? My recent photos have been of Seattle, and of course you can see that this one is of Baby Mila at bathtime, here in Belgrade. In cyberspace, I'm still in Seattle, simply because I don't have time to flit around the city now taking photos. The hand in the foreground belongs to my 87-year-old mother, whom I've brought back here with me. Health care is very expensive in the US, and here for a quarter of the price, she has the same care, and is only a phone call away.

In any case, I posted this photo because today is my daughter's birthday, and some say Baby Mila looks a bit like her! The other hands belong to my son and daughter-in-law, and mine, as usual, were holding my camera.

Mila is really in good hands. Great shot. How wonderful of you to have brought your mother closer to you. I know that it must have been quite a trip. However, you have now bridged the distance. Bravo. Sending warm wishes to your daughter for her birthday.

Oh how she has grown. I am so glad that the two of you got here OK. Growing old is not an great thing but being with her daughter and seeing a grand daughter even though she is so far away fro her home and in a far away land that must be so strange for her she is surely filled with love and happiness.

Smile!

Who am I?

I'm an American woman who's lived and worked in Serbia for over 40 years. I've come to love the people with all their idiosyncrasies, and created this blog to help break some of the negative press about Serbs. I take requests for photos!
